Commit the SALES cutover while reports and delivery disagree

You’re the software engineer. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 15, 2026.

The SALES cutover must preserve both campaign delivery and the reporting advertisers use to trust it.

A fixed retirement date protects objective simplification, while mismatched event eligibility risks ROAS reporting credibility.

Who you’d be doing this for

“My finance lead asked why spend kept going after the event we optimize for disappeared from the report.”

Budi Kurniawan · Performance Marketing Manager

Runs ROAS-goal campaigns and must explain spend and conversion results to finance.

What is at stake

Migrated campaigns can keep spending while reporting a different optimization event. You must weigh a fixed retirement date against a cutover that advertisers can still trust.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • retirement deadline vs. reporting trust
  • delivery continuity vs. transformation integrity
  • partner compatibility vs. consistent objective semantics
  • AI-assisted speed vs. verified production evidence

Why Pinterest

Ads Manager campaign creation, delivery optimization, and conversion reporting meet in the SALES migration path for performance advertisers.
